Okay, so there's a number of absurdities in this bit.
When a teacher is just going to be away for a few days, you probably wouldn't even bother with a proper supply teacher; some larger schools would have support staff able to fill in when needed, but others would just get any member of staff to make sure the kids sit down and do whatever work the permanent teacher assigned.
That's muggle schools, of course - it could be quite interesting to see some unusual magical way of supply teaching. I mean, if you just wanted someone to watch the pupils, you could probably have a portrait do it well enough really.
Seamus Finnegan gave Ron a rather perplexed look. “Usually the client waits until the outcome of the hearing is known before expressing gratitude to his legal representative.”
Even by HE standards, Seamus seems weirdly robotic. And I really can't see this as Seamus at all.
“If it pleases your honor,” Ebenezer Bullchip said self-importantly, “I would like to call to the stand, Professor Draco Malfoy, the birth father of Timothy
( ... )
Ultimately, though... the whole scene somehow manages to be both absurd and incredibly dull. I could why you had to imagine the judge as Evony/Ebonee/Ibony to get through it.
I was basically working under the assumption, since there weren't enough teachers to go round, Snape couldn't arrange cover and Hogwarts Exposed doesn't have TAs, the classes would just be cancelled. But your idea is better.

I couldn't resist.
But still... wouldn't they get an expert on werewolves rather than some random police guy to fill in that part as well?
You'd think. For that matter, why aren't there werewolf experts being called as witnesses by both sides?
A line like that is hard not to take into Do Not Want territory, especially in Hogwarts Exposed.
Around this point my review on the video, I'd have a cameo/crossover with Brad Jones in Cinema Snob character, making his typical sneering brand of snark at this shit.
Yes, not only can Snape not find a supply teacher, he can't even find a qualified witch or wizard of any kind to take these classes. This is supposed to show us how amazing and not at all a Sue, honest Jamie is, but really it shows HE!Snape to be the kind of complete idiot who has no business being in charge of a school. If you can't find cover for a class, you'd cancel it before you handed it over to a sixth-former with no teaching credentials or experience.

Hold on, I think my brain just fried out.
Could you explain that to me, szaleniec, and use small words? I think my mind just went into safe mode from what I've just read.
Unless I'm much mistaken, you just said that Neil had the gall to write Jamie into teaching DADA despite not even being a Hogwarts graduate?
Apparently Flitwick was in Hogwarts Exposed after all.
No kidding.
If so, then what members of staff died at the Battle of Hogwarts? Flitwick and Hagrid were two of my guesses, and at least one of them has been proven wrong.

Oh, fuck, I think I just realized why Neil wrote this tripe into HE, szaleniec. I'll give you three guesses to the reason...
Not this time. Nothing comes of it at all. She doesn't even get a classroom scene.
Ah, I see.
Well, we've been seeing Neil attempt, incompetently I might add, to retcon elements of Order of the Phoenix into the HE series from the start. And, well, Dumbledore's Army was a major facet of OotP...
Essentially, Neil is putting Jamie in Harry's position so as to help prop her up. Maybe it's to make her later buggering more tragic. *shrug*
It's especially puzzling when, as you just said, nothing ever comes of it.
The thought did cross my mind. Of course, the difference is that the DA was a homework club with a higher purpose, not an actual official lesson approved by the Headmaster.
